@tomw I dream of it. I want it back badly. I hope we can figure out how to make mastodon run a little leaner though because self hosting this is way more complicated and resource intensive than an RSS feed. Fingers crossed for some Rust based fork lol

@techsquidtv It is all open protocols underneath so lighter weight servers will likely appear – I'm guessing a few exist already but haven't heard yet of one that emphasises ease of setup

@tomw exactly. I have just learned of Pleroma which appears to be a viable replacement but the process of migrating isnt the cleanest it seems. But from what I understand, Pleroma is able to run on a Raspberry pi with under 2Gb of ram usage.

Vs Mastodon which needs 4 and costs roughly $25/m for a small instance because of it
